Man I completely forgot about choosing a gem. Uhhhh let's seeeeee

/googles agate

Okay, so, staying within agate relatives would be fitting, because quartz = punching things.

Petoskey stones are agatized coral and the name they're derived from means "rising sun".

Blaaarf there's a couple of really cool and gorgeous red-orange agate varieties associated with water features but they have boring names like "Lake Superior stone" and "Patuxent River stone"

Fulgurite is a cool concept but lightning isn't quite fire and also it looks like a poop.

....Lechatelierite is similarly produced by the melting of quartz sand at REALLY UNCOMFORTABLY HIGH TEMPERATURES, often as a result of meteorites (falling stars). It looks less like a poop. Downside: I do not know how to pronounce that.

Trinitite is even more metal, being the result of sand melted by nuclear bomb tests. It does not look at all like a poop and is actually rather pretty. There's a slightly more yellow version available though that being an example of trinitite is very mmineralogically dubious but haha this is RP who cares.
